SOMA, TURKEY - MAY 15: People pray during the funeral of the the miners after a mining disaster on May 15, 2014 in Soma, a district in Turkey's western province of Manisa. Rescuers are still trying to reach parts of the coal mine in Soma, 480 km (300 miles) southwest of Istanbul, almost 48 hours after fire knocked out power and shut down the ventilation shafts and elevators, trapping hundreds underground. At least 282 people have been confirmed dead, mostly from carbon monoxide poisoning, and hopes are fading of pulling out any more alive of the 100 or so still thought to be inside.
